If i install iOS 8.4 beta 3 on my iPhone 6 (I'm not a dev), I just want to have the new music app, will I be able to install the final version of 8.4 when it comes out at the end of this month? And by install I mean "update" to the final version? I don't want to have to "restore" my iPhone to the final version when it comes out.

If you in the Public Beta then yes.
 
Where can I download the public beta? I can't see any download link on the apple seed website and I signed up for their beta program months ago, I'm logged in on their website right now

Once you add the profile to your phone, beta loads appear in software update.
 
I don't see any instructions all I see on that page is a coming soon tab about el capitan and iOS 9 coming soon and I am logged in on the website so it's not like I'm not logged in
 
Can someone please give me a link to download the latest public beta? Id so appriciate it

You cant download it. That is not an option. Its OTA only.
You need the beta profile loaded. Then it will appear in software update on device.

beta.apple.com

1,2,3 very easy

1 Archive an iOS backup.
Please note that you are about to install beta software. Always back up your data and files before installing beta versions of iOS. We recommend you do an iTunes backup and archive it before installing the iOS beta.
Archive an iOS backup with iTunes

2 Download Profile.
From your iOS device, navigate to beta.apple.com/profile, to download the configuration profile. Your iOS device will prompt you to install it. Follow the on screen instructions to allow installation.
Download profile

3 Update your Device.
Beta updates will now be available for your device over the air on devices with iOS 8.1.3 or later. Tap Settings > General > Software Update to install any available beta updates.

IF they chose you. I enter that into my browser on my phone and it auto resets it the main Beta Apple site. Cause again Apple did NOT choose me. So again Apple has to choose you.
 
It resets me to, I see links in Google to download iOS 8.4 beta 4 but it's not a public beta it's a dev beta, if I install that will it upgrade when the final 8.4 comes out?
 
If you look about someone may have uploaded the profile so you can download it to your device. That's how I got into the public beta.

Agreed, the discussions regarding this thread appear to be venturing into an area that is not permitted. The OP has his answer and apple provides details on the public beta.

Closing the thread.
